Gianluca in Conversation with Jessica Wilson

Ah! I think the inspiration has slowly built over the years. If I look back I think I will need to thank Katrín Hall first, (the former Artistic Director of Iceland Dance Company (ID), now Artistic Director of Göteborgs Operans Danskompani). Katrín gave me the chance to become Rehearsal Director for ID early in my career, believing in me as a young leader. I learned a lot from her! The other inspirations have been all the company members I have witnessed grow whilst leading VERVE for five years. Seeing them develop as artists and move audiences has no price!"
